Problems with LuaTeX 1.08 even on a very simple document

I just installed luatex 1.08 released yesterday (the installation is a manual process and replaces the original luatex v1.07 that ships with Texlive 2018) on my on GNU/Linux x86_64 machine and re-generated all formats using fmtutil-sys.

However, this new binary is not able to compile even a simple document such as:

documentclassarticle

begindocument

hello world!

enddocument

The contents of the log file is shown below:

The fontloader provided by the luaotfload package (loaded by default in LuaLaTeX) is not compatible with current LuaTeX versions. A newer fontloader fixing this problem can be found at this GitHub repo.

Just download this project and add the texmf directory to your TEXMFHOME, then LuaLaTeX works again.

A step by step guide for Linux:

Open a terminal window and go to a directory where you want to save lua-font-pond. I will assume you choose your home directory /home/kg314, otherwise you have to change the path in Step 4.

Run git clone https://github.com/u-fischer/lua-font-pond

Open your texmf.cnf file with your favorite editor, you can find it most likely in /usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf.cnf. You might need root rights (sudo) do edit this file.

Add a line TEXMFHOME = /home/kg314/lua-font-pond/texmf/:

Save the file and close everything.
